I am excited to be co-hosting a monthly webinar to introduce International Justice Mission (IJM). IJM is a human rights agency that works with victims of violent oppression among the global poor. Their clients are victims of bonded labor, sex trafficking, sexual assault, false imprisonment and other forms of violent crime. IJM works with their clients to represent them in the legal process to secure justice against their perpetrators as well as to provide the appropriate aftercare services for them. IJM also works to bring systemic change to the public justice systems in the areas that they work to help protect the global poor from further victimization. I wrote a blog post called “The Rule of Law and the Global Poor” which captures the problem and their work in greater detail. After visiting the IJM field office in Guatemala, meeting with their leadership and Board members, I have become a big believer in IJM and hope that others can learn about IJM through these webinars.

An IJM leader will be co-hosting each webinar and will make prepared comments that will last approximately 30 minutes. Participants are encouraged to submit questions during the webinar which will be answered at the conclusion of the prepared comments.
